Riad Shemsi

Luxury Marrakech Riad - Haven of tranquility in the Royal Kasbah

Description - Hotel

The beautiful and elegant Riad Shemsi has been created from an original ancient house in the heart of the Royal Kasbah. Its sun terrace offers a stunning panoramic view of Marrakech and the snow-capped Atlas Mountains in the distance.

Riad Shemsi is a haven of tranquility; its large courtyard containing a substantial pool surrounded by traditional arabesque arches, antique and vintage tapis, palms and distinguished Marrekchi furnishings.

The stunning bedrooms are all ensuite, revealing traditional coloured tadelakt plasterwork, finely worked mirrors and contemporary art. The beautiful salon with its open fireplace is a wonderful place in which to savor the delights of the celebrated Shemsi cuisine and excellent Moroccan wines. Alternatively, take your evening meal on the atmospheric terrace with its subtle Moroccan lighting. The Riad Shemsi staff are warm, attentive, discrete and welcoming.

Riad Shemsi is located just minutes from the Saadien Tombs and the Royal Palace, and within a short distance of the wonderful myriad Souks and Jemaa El Fna.

Room amenities

Riad Shemsi offers six bedrooms including one suite, each elegantly decorated in a unique style: from the romantic Berber room to the sumptuous Chocolate Suite, to the Turquoise room with its thousand and one nights atmosphere, each room benefiting richly from local tradition, combining Moroccan style with contemporary decor.
